'PHONE TRUST TO DISSOLVE Avoids Federal Suit by Promise to Sell Western Union Hold- ing. Washington, Dec. 20.—The Ameri- can Telephone and Telegraph Com. pany, better known as the Bell sys- em, of the Telephone Trust, has agreed to drop its control over the Western Union Telegraph Company and to reorganize immediately under the terms of the Sherman law at the suggestion of the Department of Jus- tice. It has voluntarily agreed to ad- just its business to the conditions of ocmpetition, an important feature of which will be to throw open its toll lines to independent companies. Attorney General McReynolds, with the assent of President Wilson, has accepted the reorganization plan, and will not proceed with the contem- plated suit against the company as a combination in restraint of trade under’ the Anti-trust ‘act. This agreement is the first impres- sive evidence of the administration’s new policy to co-operate with “big business” in the matter of readjust ments under the Sherman law. It is the most encouraging step thus far taken by the Wilson administration to restore the confidenc: of the busi- ness interests of the country. Among the letters given out by At- torney General McReynolds bearing on the subject was one written by Presi- dent Wilson ‘tb Mr. McReynolds ex- pressing gratification “that the com- pany should thus volunteer to adjust its business to the conditions of com- petition.” WRECK CARNEGIE LIBRARY Vandals Destroy Index Files and Throw Books About at Oberlin.

Aldrich-Vreeland emergency currency act extended until July, 1915. Washington, Dec. 20.—The Adminis- tration currency bil as perfected by the Owen sub-committee and ratified by the Democratic caucus passed the Senate by a vote of 54 to 34. The organization of th: new system will be undertaken at once and put into effect “as soon as practicable.” The passage of the currency bill through the Senate marks the second notable victory for President Wilson. The bill as it emerged from the strug- gle in the Upper House carries all of the fundamentals upon which Mr. Wil- gon and his advisers insisted, but is admittedly a better and safer measure than the one which left the House of Representatives. The action by the Senate practi- cally ends a fight for currency reform which began soon after the 1907 panic, and which had been agitated sporadi- cally before that year. President Wilson and the Democra- tic leaders see in the measure a stimu- lus to business and are confident it will soon end the cries of calamity howlers. With the new measure on the sta- tute books they believe ‘any danger of a serious panic in the country is now a thing of the past and that the United States is assured of a really elastic currency system and one which will readily permit of the mobiliza- tion of reserves to meet any threat- ened emergency. In the vote every Democratic Sen- ator present, including Senator Hitch- cock, of Nebraska, was recorded in favor of the bill. Six Republicans also voted for it—Crawford and Ster- ling of South Dakota, Jones of Wash- ington, Norris of Nebraska, Perkins of California and Weeks of Massachu- setts. Senator Poindexter Progressive of Washington, also voted for the bill Senator La Follette was recorded egainst it. When the result of the final vote was announced there wag enthusias- tic even uproarious applause on the Democratic side and in the galleries. Jecretary MeAcoo was on the floor of the Senate and joined in the jubi- lation. $400,000 FOR A PICTURE Mrs. Emery Said to Have Paid That Record-Breaking Sum in Cash for Titian’s Philip II.
